Since you don' t need the 3D comb filter then the CLD-704 would be a definite option, If you need an Elite the 79 is a 99 without the 3D Adaptive filter for S-Video. The composite output of all three units are the same. The 704 and 99...

I'm still here at kbahr@erols.com Maybe something got messed up in the reply address. Kurtis

The problem with your request is that your asking for a digital output, the lower models don't have it. Also the ned for S-Video is not really needed as LD is recorded in the composite format so it is just whether your LD player or TV...

The D-Ext is like below black on DVD's. The R7G would have this option as it is a standard in Japanese video. I do not know all the details about Japanese NTSC but I have been told that this is a standard option. The R5G also does...

Let me know what happens, if it is due to setting the sharpness for the sharper picture I can tell either of you how to adjust it back or can do it myself if you send one back. Matt's problem sounds like macrovision but the LD format...

There is a difference between the 97 and 99 that is more than AC-3. The 97 was the last special Elite design with board layout and positioning designed for very low noise and stability, it has a filmlike picture. It has separate power...

If you like the sound of tubes then you'll be picky about the warmth of the output. Yes, there is a difference. If Tweeter still had Philips SACD1000's for $299 that would be the best deal if you don't need progressive scan and accept...
